Hi!
I'm using Fedora 14 and having an issue with lm_sensors deamon.
Attempt to start it fails.x: lm-sensors <at> lm-sensors <dot> org.
/etc/init.d/lm_sensors start
Starting lm_sensors: not configured, run sensors-detect [WARNING]
Then I use sensors-detect:
# sensors-detect
# sensors-detect revision 5861 (2010-09-21 17:21:05 +0200)
# System: Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC (laptop)
# Board: Hewlett-Packard 1440
This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need
to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe
and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions,
unless you know what you're doing.
Some south bridges, CPUs or memory controllers contain embedded sensors.
Do you want to scan for them? This is totally safe. (YES/no):
Silicon Integrated Systems SIS5595... No
VIA VT82C686 Integrated Sensors... No
VIA VT8231 Integrated Sensors... No
AMD K8 thermal sensors... No
AMD Family 10h thermal sensors... Success!
(driver `k10temp')
AMD Family 11h thermal sensors... No
Intel Core family thermal sensor... No
Intel Atom thermal sensor... No
Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No
VIA C7 thermal sensor... No
VIA Nano thermal sensor... No
Some Super I/O chips contain embedded sensors. We have to write to
standard I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe.
Do you want to scan for Super I/O sensors? (YES/no):
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x2e/0x2f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
Probing for Super-I/O at 0x4e/0x4f
Trying family `National Semiconductor'... No
Trying family `SMSC'... No
Trying family `VIA/Winbond/Nuvoton/Fintek'... No
Trying family `ITE'... No
Some hardware monitoring chips are accessible through the ISA I/O ports.
We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually
safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any
ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports? (YES/no):
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM78' at 0x290... No
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM79' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83781D' at 0x290... No
Probing for `Winbond W83782D' at 0x290... No
Lastly, we can probe the I2C/SMBus adapters for connected hardware
monitoring devices. This is the most risky part, and while it works
reasonably well on most systems, it has been reported to cause trouble
on some systems.
Do you want to probe the I2C/SMBus adapters now? (YES/no):
Using driver `i2c-piix4' for device 0000:00:14.0: ATI Technologies Inc
SB600/SB700/SB800 SMBus
Module i2c-dev loaded successfully.
Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus VGA (i2c-0)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus LVDS (i2c-1)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Client found at address 0x4f
Probing for `National Semiconductor LM75'... No
Probing for `Dallas Semiconductor DS75'... No
Probing for `Dallas Semiconductor DS1621/DS1631'... No
Probing for `Texas Instruments TMP421'... No
Probing for `Texas Instruments TMP422'... No
Probing for `Maxim MAX6633/MAX6634/MAX6635'... No
Client found at address 0x50
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1033'... No
Probing for `Analog Devices ADM1034'... No
Probing for `SPD EEPROM'...
No
Probing for `EDID EEPROM'... Yes
(confidence 8, not a hardware monitoring chip)
Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus LVDS (i2c-2)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Next adapter: Radeon i2c bit bus HDMI (i2c-3)
Do you want to scan it? (YES/no/selectively):
Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 10h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
No modules to load, skipping modules configuration.
Unloading i2c-dev... OK
k10temp is autoloaded module, so my /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors is empty
# cat /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors
# /etc/sysconfig/sensors - Defines modules loaded by
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lm_sensors
# Run sensors-detect to generate this config file
However, lm_sensors.init checks, if there is an occurrence of
HWMON_MODULES in /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors
http://www.lm-sensors.org/browser/lm-sensors/trunk/prog/init/lm_sensors.init#L48
resulting in impossibility to start daemon.
Thanks, Daniil.
